    There's ample signage warning trucks. First sign is posted about 20 miles east of the 220 exit with more warning signs as you approach the split.

    Lighted message boards give clear instructions to trucks to keep on 220.

    If you miss the warning and proceed past the split it's purely because you don't think those signs apply to you for some dumb reason.

    Get 'em, @Grumppy !

    Signs warn you for miles and miles to take the bypass. If your too ignorant to follow directions you deserve to get ticketed.

    I'm thinking there might have been a language barrier, as in not understanding English.

    Actually, if you've ever been there, 220 is a better route on the best day.
    I have a feeling that some of these guys were not completely familiar with the English language.
